Your business has grown.
Has your
leadership team grown with it?
You can have great people, a strong business and a clear vision. But if your leaders aren’t equipped to lead people well, growth eventually starts to feel harder than it should. Managers become overwhelmed.
Good people leave. Problems keep getting escalated to senior leadership. And you find yourself getting pulled back into areas you thought you had already delegated.
The 7 Positions of Leadership™
Good employees don’t automatically become good leaders
One of the biggest mistakes businesses make is promoting their best performers into management and assuming they will know how to lead.
- They usually don’t.
- They know how to do their job
- They may be excellent at getting results.
- But leading people requires a different set of skills.
The real issue may not be your people. It may be how they are being led.
I’ve worked with hundreds of people across leadership, sales and personal development, and one thing I’ve seen repeatedly is that talented people can still struggle when they don’t understand their own leadership patterns.
They may not recognise their blind spots. They may not realise how they come across to others. They may continue using the same approach even when it isn’t producing the result they want.
This is where The 7 Positions of Leadership™ comes in.
It gives leaders a way to understand:
How they naturally lead
Their strengths and weaknesses
Their blind spots
Their default leadership patterns
How their behaviour affects the people around them
When they need to change their approach
How to become more flexible and intentional as a leader
The goal isn’t to turn everyone into the same type of leader. It’s to help each person understand themselves well enough to lead more effectively.
What happens when your leaders understand their own leadership better?
They start making different decisions. They become more aware of how they communicate.
They recognise when their usual approach isn’t working. They become better at handling different people and situations. They have more productive conversations. They develop their teams instead of simply managing them. And senior leadership can spend less time solving problems that should be handled further down the organisation. That is the real goal
Not more leadership theory. Better leadership in the real world.
How the process works
It gives leaders a way to understand:
First, we understand where your leaders are today
Then we look at what is happening around them
Then we work on adaptability
And then we build from there
The goal isn’t to turn everyone into the same type of leader. It’s to help each person understand themselves well enough to lead more effectively.
There are two ways we can work together
The 7 Positions of
Leadership™
A practical and interactive session designed to give your leadership team a better understanding of themselves and each other.
Your team will leave with:
- A clearer understanding of their leadership strengths and weaknesses
- Greater awareness of their default leadership patterns
- Practical tools they can use immediately
- A shared language for discussing leadership
- A clearer understanding of where development is needed
- A framework senior leaders can continue using with their teams
Positional Leadership
Blueprint & Development
For organisations that want to take the work further with individual leaders.
Each leader receives a 60 minute Leadership Blueprint Breakdown covering their strengths, weaknesses, blind spots, leadership patterns and opportunities to become more adaptable.
They then receive:
These sessions focus on the specific areas that leader needs to develop. Because leadership development isn’t one size fits all. What one manager needs may be completely different from what another manager needs.
Why I created The 7 Positions of Leadership™
I’ve coached and trained more than 800 people across sales, leadership and personal development.
Before creating The 7 Positions of Leadership™, I spent years managing teams of 15 in environments where staff turnover was a constant challenge.
I know what it’s like to genuinely want people to succeed but not have the time, structure or tools to help them develop.
I’ve also been on the other side of it.
Being told, “Just keep doing what you’re doing,” when you want to improve but nobody can actually tell you what you need to change.
That experience led me into deeper work around NLP, behavioural models and personal development.
What clients have experienced
It gives leaders a way to understand:
Per Christensen
Managing Director, Black Swans Exist
“Dale brought a level of leadership insight I didn’t expect. He took the time to understand each consultant individually before training them, and that changed everything. His ability to distinguish true high performers from high‑potential talent – and coach them differently – had a major impact on our culture and performance. If you’re growing a team and your managers are suddenly expected to lead, talk to Dale.”
Leslie Hunt
Business Owner, Hands on Healing
“Working with Dale fundamentally changed how I lead my business and understand my team. In an industry where people often operate as solo acts, Dale helped me shift our culture, identify who was truly aligned, and make the changes we needed. Today I stand in front of a unified team that understands our mission and their role in moving the business forward.”
The outcome isn’t just better leaders
It’s a healthier, more capable business. When your leaders become more aware and adaptable, you can start to see the difference across the organisation.
- Better communication.
- Stronger accountability
- More confident managers.
- Better team performance.
- Less unnecessary conflict.
- Stronger retention.
If leadership has become the bottleneck, let’s talk.
You don’t need another generic leadership workshop.
You need to understand what is actually happening with your leaders and where the biggest opportunities are.
If you have a growing business and a leadership team that you know is capable of more, let’s have a conversation.
We’ll look at where things are today, where you’re getting stuck and whether The 7 Positions of Leadership™ is the right fit.
Develop leaders who can lead without everything coming back to you.
